You will see Boston Common, the oldest public park in America, the exclusive neighborhood of Beacon Hill, and the gold-domed Massachusetts State House, which was constructed in 1798 on land that was once John Hancock’s cow pasture. You will then visit the Old North Church, which first opened its doors in 1723. It was here that Paul Revere ordered two lanterns hung in the steeple to signal that the British were approaching by sea.

Architectural highlights include St. Paul’s Anglican Church, the Old Town Clock and the Province House, where Nova Scotia’s House of Assembly meets.

Here, you will make your way to the roaring St-Anne-du-Nord River, which becomes a thundering waterfall in the canyon. You might even walk along the suspension bridges above the water, if you are feeling adventurous. To enhance the experience, you may follow a nature trail into the forest.
